A lifestyle change took place when we moved to our smallholding in Wales, we are leaving behind the consumerism of life, growing our food, raising our meat, living our lives to the full, enjoying every day the highs and lows of country living, but not going without just doing it better.

The Best Birthday Present

Today I got the most wonderful birthday present from young K next door a lovely little boy who has become a friend and a good source of humour with his imagination, young K is six and with the help of his mum his made me Bob the scarecrow

Not the best photo but Bob is standing in the porch in the dark at the moment, when he is installed in the veggie garden I will take some better photos.

Young K and me got into conversation the other week about my veggie plot and he was concerned that the birds were going to eat the vegetables and he informed me I needed a scarecrow.

Bob will take pride and place in the veggie plot, he will be a wonderful addition to the garden.

I got many cards and well wishes,

lots of chocolates, money and some lovely gifts

the birthday gift that will be remembered best of all will be Bob I think he is fantastic :-)

What a lovely scarecrow and what a sweet little boy. Belated birthday greetings. My OH had his birthday in the past week too, but we are hoping for a dry day so we can have his Birthday Day Out (a ritual in our family).
